Thua at one' fell swoop is the innocent amusement of the average idiot curtailed, and ni. fact wholly despoiled.

" How private dramas and theatricals are to be successfully carried on without the aid of the shot gun or rifle, is a mystery. A winter passed and no rictim having fallen by means of these instruments, pointed just in fun," would indeed be a drear one to contem plate.- The conventional old addlehead who takes down a gun un touched "for the previous eight years and supposing it aa ' harmless as ' it is rusty, scatters the brains of a few of his children on the! kitchen floor, while "playing soldier'' will feel lost without - this 1 pastime.'' ' In fact this law is, so to speak, aimed at the very ' heart of -.social enjoyment- In endeavors to reform what maybe termed criminal carelessness,' it goes off at a -tangent. '- The perspective looked at -through a gun-barrel of an irresponsible' person at the butt end of a gun, and with his fingers dallying gently with its stray locks in delightful uncertainty as to . whether the ' owner has trusted in Providence and kept the powder 'dry' is not the most 'encouraging to one 1 with any hopes' for the 7 There comes a feeling of future. awe not .nnmingled with . sadness, when one s is suddenly confronted with a "navy ; six: in the hands of a raw and sporitive youth, who Is fond of a practi cal joke.

Far from it ' After the fight has passed, there is' generally noticeable a sadness ; among the boys, ' as though they at i last realized the' stern realities of life.'' All these 'points,' and many others, present themselves aa arguments in favor of the law in ques- : tion. But yet it may, on the other hand, ' be deemed an interference f with ' purely 'domestic rights and privileges. " A ' source of pure, un clloyed pleasure is now cut off; No more verdicts of death by careless use of firearms at least,' conv paratively few.5 : Tof;the rich, who can indulge in the 'sport, and go through the process of paying " a cj.u,c, u mm uu xi ui ua- - pnsonment in view, the law will nave but few terrors.
